Construction on Rt. 206
Posted on May 20, 2009 9:01 am
Work on two major road projects in Morris County may cause delays for motorists in Chester and Netcong this week, according to TransOptions, the transportation management association for northern New Jersey.
In Chester, road excavation, drainage and sidewalk and curb construction will take place today on the Route 206 improvement project. Motorists should expect lane shifts to the west with reduced lane widths. Also, various lanes will be closed temporarily at varying times each day, with at least one lane in each direction being maintained during allowable hours.
The $19.5 million state Department of Transportation project will move Route 206 about 20 feet to the east to make way for left-turn-only lanes in both directions and a two-way, center-turn lane along Route 206.
